CLASI Monterey Preliminary Drone Data

During the Coastal Land-Air-Sea Interactions experiment from June - October 2021 in Monterey, CA, our drone system was deployed and used to measure the EM propagation under ducting conditions. Our objective is to perform duct estimation and analyze sea surface roughness at very low grazing angles in ducting conditions by utilizing our two-channel drone-based software defined radio receiver system. The experimental data will be compared to the theoretical models such as Ament, and Miller-Brown. Additionally, the meteorological data will be compared to determine environmental trends.
